The Grey Cup

To my surprise the Grey Cup was featured live on ESPN2 yesterday. It was fun to watch even if not a terribly exciting game. Montreal tried to threaten a bit in the second half but with little success so BC took it rather handily. For some reason the TV definition was not the best and because it was a direct feed from CBC we had to put up with their constant bombardment of logo identifiers. Also the referee’s mike wasn’t working which made the coverage seem a bit amateurish.

The Spanish language announcers had a great time with the weather information and the unique differences in the Canadian game. They also took time to explain the difference in the pronunciation of Saskatchewan depending whether you were from the French or English part of Canada. And I bet you didn’t even know that.
